Weiners behavior was more disgusting and more embarrassing for Congress than having a mistress. It is less understandable. If he had a local mistress that he saw while Huma was gallivanting around the world with Hillary, it would be a moral failing but more “normal.”. Some would even have sympathy for Weiner as a beard for Huma.
Weiner comes off as a pervy loser now, not a lonely husband who fell in love with another woman than his wife.
Apparently, what we see as sexual misbehavior, is politicians' sick way of attaining the ego gratification they desperately need.
I am now more believing of Clinton when he said "he did not have sexual relations" with Lewinsky. He really believed that...... b/c in his warped mind, he was not getting a BJ---having a woman on her knees in an act of obeisance was his massive ego getting validated.
Weiner is in the same place. Weiner AND Clinton's sexploits were a way to feed their massive egos.
This type veers toward politics to get the status they think they are entitled to, as well as public adulation and approval. (Anything they can steal with earmarks, and the like, is a plus.)
